Haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but Polygon also has a video about Destiny today, this one talking about Destiny's emergent multiplay gameplay mechanics.

Go watch!

Or play it as an RTS, if you're so inclined

Made this witty comment in the IRC, thought it was alright enough to be posted here as well.

It's the same video Sony released. Case of the Mondays? ;-P

Yes very much so.

Also I haven't had a chance to watch this one as my work network blocks Polygon, makes it difficult. Just saw the title and assumed it was different than the Playstation video. I guess both companies used the same promotional video released by Bungie.

Heh, to be fair, I think both the title of the video and the title of Polygon article are a tad misleading. :)

Given your vast experience with Destiny's gameplay would you care to expand? :/

Could be, but with Cody I start at worst case scenario and work back from there. :)

The very nature of 'emergent' gameplay is that it wasn't designed and just kinda happened with the interaction of different pieces in a simulated world.

e.g. Warthog launching in Halo 1 is emergent gameplay.
The warthog launch game is not.

Xenos: so fast he beats himself to the frontpage.
